this was cute.
i grew up with a different adventurous stuffed animal - felix, a stuffed bunny that travels around the world and writes letters back home where his human family waits for him to come back.
so similar but different.
but enough for me to keep comparing for some unknown reason i don’t even understand myself - and since i grew up loving one but not the other, paddington just fell a bit short for me.
i think to love this you have to either grow up with it or read it and experience it with a child who’s growing up with the story.
it’s lovely but so over the top and ridiculous that kids might find it funny but as an adult it’s just a bit too much.
i can see why people love it though.
